I send discs to Kate, and the last few I sent included tommyrot's. There were a few more, but tommyrot's was the first name I could recall. It was at least a few months ago that they flew off to Ms. Kate. Have not received any since that last batch.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

If I only had a brain...
SO. I loves "Gordon" a lot. I love "Everything to Everybody". What's the THIRD Barenaked Ladies album to buy?
And what happened to the band lineup since the first album?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Oddly enough, while I was checking the Marc Almond status, I noticed that Underworld was subbing for (Legendary DJ John Peel) tonight. Siouxsie Sioux will be subbing tomorrow night, and Robert Smith the 21st.

Rock Spectacle, if you like live albums.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I vote Maroon, which I think you'll enjoy a lot.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Gandalfe - yeah. Elijah Wood was going to do it - like everyone, he's a Peel fan - but had to pull out.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Betsy, Ima going to vote for Maybe You Should Drive, if you don't get Rock Spectacle.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I vote Rock Spectacle, because my housemate and I were listening to it on Sunday afternoon while making dinner, singing along the whole time. It's that kind of CD. However, it does have a significant amount of overlap with Gordon, so I might go for Stunt if you don't want RS.

Library Journal Reviews
Record collector geeks and hipster music critics love to pledge allegiance to the obscure. Cooper and Smay, co-editors of the renowned Los Angeles 'zine Scram, have compiled just the book for those snobs - a trade-scale, alphabetical encyclopedia of albums that the authors think we (i.e., the mass majority) overlooked. This lesson in musical obscurity works because Cooper and Smay aren't serving up a heavy-handed slap in the face; instead, their list of unheralded gems is delivered in the voice of that cool older kid who turned you on to the Sex Pistols back in sixth grade. Along with records by indie heroes like Jandek and Captain Beefheart, the authors share their love of lesser-known discs by "mainstream" artists like Willie Nelson, Terrence Trent D'Arby, and Thin Lizzy. At its best, this is a travel guide for adventurous music connoisseurs. Recommended for all libraries that exploit the English language, especially those that hold the authors' previous collaboration, Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth.

Great review!
